Body Repair

  With all the old paint gone and all the bodywork nastyness revealed from the blasting, Marty got into addressing all the issues. Turns out it was easier to replace whole panels than try to save the originals. Both quarters were replaced along with the entire floor, toeboards, right subframe, both rear aprons, tail light panel, one outer wheelhouse and the trunk dropoff on one side.

	New tail light panel! No rust here anymore.
Quarters gotta go. Some surface rust below the quarters. Itll be sanded and primed before the new quarters go on. This outer wheel house will need to go too.
	Same for this side. Trunk drop off rusty on this side. It will be replaced.
Hello new quarter! Welded in place, but still needs a bit of filler.
	Another view of the new quarter and tail light panel.
New aprons and extensions. If you are real observant, you will notice a new subframe member too on the passenger side.
	Here's another view of the new subframe and new toeboard.
Straight now, dammit!
	There was a large hole in the cowl where the apron extension welds. That was patched as well.
Looks better....
	Here's the back of the subframe, but wait, how can you see it from this angle? Oh right...floors's gone too!
New subframe sittin' pretty!
	New one piece floor installed. No seat bases yet. It's just tacked into place here.
Nice! engine compartment all painted. Looks about new!
	Floor is all welded in and painted. It's actually black, but some sanding was being done on the body and primer dust makes it look gray.
